When an object, crucial to the Old Colony’s story in the 250th anniversary of the American Revolution, is requested for a long-term loan to the National Museum of the US Army (NMUSA), what is a museum to do? Hire renowned Historical Costumer Henry Cooke to create a replica to hold its place until its return! Cooke, who has worked in historical clothing restoration and replication since the bicentennial, replicated Toby Gilmore’s mitre cap so the original could join the rare artifacts in the NMUSA’s “Call to Arms” exhibition set to open June 2025 until August 2027. On February 13, Henry will share his extensive research as well as the process of replicating the cap.


This lecture is free; RSVP required.
